One hundred forty samples were selected using clustered random sampling method. The self-concealment, Alexithymia and resistance to change scales were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using SPSS-20, Pearson correlation test and multiple regression analysis.

The results of regression analysis showed that 31 percent of total variance of resistance to change is explained by self-concealment and alexithymia in the multiple regression analysis results (P<0.0001).
